Detroit Place – Named after Detroit in the USA. This cul-de-sac serves the Turner’s car auction complex and the street is named because Detroit has a connection with the automobile industry. It has been host to some of the world’s largest vehicle manufacturers.
The library website says it all as the street is full of car yards including Turners. The railway lane runs on one side of the street.
